Well there’s only one more logical step. With the WWE UK Championship Tournament wrapped up, it’s clear that WWE has at least some interest in doing something in the UK going forward.
As you might expect, the next question would be about having a major pay per view over there. While there has only been one major show in the UK (“Summerslam 1992”) and a few UK only show, Triple H has something to say about the possibility of a big show going forward.
After night one of the tournament, Triple H took part in a press conference. On the topic of a UK pay per view, he had this to say:
“I think that is a goal of WWE to be here in that way. It’s a very difficult process with PPV schedules and coming to the UK or globally to perform live with a live TV component, following that up with RAW and SmackDown. It’s a massive undertaking, trying to co-ordinate all that. There were 5 shows going on tonight under WWE. We have somewhere between 18 to 21 trailer trucks that come to our events, it’s tough to get them over the ocean. Is it a goal? Yes and I think tonight was one step closer to that goal becoming a reality.”

If WWE can pull it off and air the shot at a reasonable time in the United States (3pm EST would be fine), why not? This would be a treat for the live audience across the pond and it’s hardly anything ridiculous to suggest. The tournament was a lot of fun and it certainly seems like something that could be done in the future.
